Ye—the artist formerly known as Kanye West—is being sued by a former bodyguard for alleged unpaid wages. The suit is only the most recent of the artist’s legal woes. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the plaintiff, Jonathan Monroe, is seeking nearly $900,000. A former complaint filed in October 2024 reveals Monroe was hired as a full-time security guard in 2021, where he worked anywhere between 36 and 50 hours per week until he was “let go.”

Monroe argued that Ye made several labor code violations, including “misclassification of him as an independent contractor, unpaid overtime, and unlawful withholding of wages.” He also alleged that he was wrongfully terminated for “engaging in a protected activity.” Per the court documents filed on April 7, Monroe’s legal team requested a judgment against the rapper for exactly $849,747.94, which includes $7,725 for unpaid overtime, $37,620 in lost wages, $500,000 in lost earnings, $100,000 for his pain and suffering, as well as $100,000 in punitive damages.
